It is known that a curve in 3-dimensional Euclidean space is spherical if and only if
where k 1 and k 2 are its first curvature function and second curvature function, respectively. In 1971, integral form of (1) was given [2] as
In the present work, a) it is given another method for (2); b) it is shown that the differential equation characterizing a spherical curve in n-dimensional Euclidean space n ≥ 3 can be solved explicitly to express nth curvature function of the curve in terms of its curvatures and its other curvature functions; c) it is shown that integral form of the generalization of (1) gives us (2) as a spherical case for n = 3.
